The release of Britney Spears' tell-all memoir has reportedly been delayed - because of a lack of paper.
It was revealed in November 2021 that Spears was writing a book after being freed from the shackles of her 13-year conservatorship.
The book deal was said to be worth US$15 million, one of the highest offers on record - comparatively, the Obamas' memoirs were worth US$65 million.
TMZ claims the book, which will be released through Simon & Schuster, is now being delayed due to a paper supply issue.
A source told the publication there is "now no firm date on when the book will launch as it is unclear when the paper shortage will be resolved."
It also reported the publishing company had been eyeing a January 2023 release date.
In November 2021, a Los Angeles judge ended the conservatorship that had controlled Spears' employment and financial affairs for 13 years.
"Effective today, the conservatorship of the person and the estate of Britney Jean Spears is hereby terminated," Judge Brenda Penny said at the time after a 30-minute hearing, in which no one opposed ending the legal arrangement.
The judge added that the current conservator would continue working to settle ongoing financial issues in the case.
The 39-year-old 'Piece of Me' singer had begged the court to terminate the legal arrangement that had governed her personal life and $60 million estate since 2008.
